VERY Interesting Thai or Burmese Knife For Sale
4 Attachment(s)
Here is a huge, wild looking Thai or Burmese knife, that looks as if it could be the giant cousin of a Dyak piso raut.
The knife is 23 inches overall, with a thick and heavy blade that shows signs of laminar construction. Clear, crisp inscription on the blade. Beautiful patina to the long, curved wooden hilt. This is a very old knife, and most interesting. $125.00 plus shipping. |
Hi Charles. These are work knives. If I recall correctly, used to split rattan.
That's Burmese script on the blade. |
Charles:
We have discussed these several times on the Forum. They are a large cousin to the pisau raut and used to split rattan. More commonly seen in N. Thailand/Laos than Burma. Ian. |
This one is now on eBay. Thread locked until the auction concludes.
